Red-headed Duck Mon Nov 28 2011

Janice and I did the west end waters looking for owls and ducks. It took a while but by the end we were thrilled by the ducks that we saw. Our final duck of the day was the Redheaded Duck. I have only seen them from a distance and well they are stunning. This was a great day as we did arrive home in our car not in the tow truck. Janice did provide some entertainment by trying to get into an old ladies car which was parked beside us. (which had me laughing like crazy).
